Casee: I’m reading nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Year One by NR has been out for ten days and I still haven’t read one page. This time of year kills me. Oh and speaking of Year One, I am so embarrassed by my post “alerting” everyone that it was “free” on Amazon. I hope you all forgive my for my lameness. In my excitement I didn’t do enough research. Obviously.
Holly: I was on vacation this week which means I finally had some good reading time. I read Man Hands by Sarina Bowen and Tanya Eby. It was cute. Light and fluffy. A good vacation read. Burn Bright by Patricia Briggs was fabulous. I adore Charles and Anna and I was so glad to get back to them. I’m just sorry it ended. Judgement Road by Christine Feehan was super dark and gritty. I tend to stay away from the darker MC romances because they aren’t my cuppa. I thought, based on her other books set in this world (this is a spin-off of her Drake Sisters/Sea Haven/Sisters of the Heart series), the book would go in a different direction. There were all kinds of Triggers in the book. I almost DNF’d it at one point because it was so graphic, and I’m not one to walk away for that.
I also did some re-reading. Kinked by Thea Harrison, Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh (currently free at Amazon!!) and Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase.
Rowena: It’s been a pretty quiet week for me so I tackled some of the books that I needed to read so I’m happy about that. I finished North to You by Tif Marcelo and that book was cute. I don’t think I liked it as much as everyone else did but it was still an enjoyable read and then after that, I tackled my book club read of the month. I read An English Bride in Scotland by Lynsay Sands and that was another enjoyable book though it wasn’t my favorite book we’ve read as a book club this year. Now, I’m reading The Matchmaker’s Playbook by Rachel van Dyken for my buddy review with Ames. So far, it’s okay. I’m struggling with the way that the hero thinks. I want to punch him in the nose right now because he’s hot and he knows it and he’s really conceited. I can’t wait for him to do like Kendrick Lamar and…be humble because right now this bitch needs to sit down.
What are you reading this week? Any new favorites or books that drove you crazy? Share!
I’m certainly looking forward to the new Patricia Briggs book!
Recently read here ~
— Lost Heart: A Celta Novella by Robin D. Owens; I’ve enjoyed the author’s Celta novels and am looking forward to reading her newest. Unfortunately, this novella seemed lacking.
— The Barren (Kelderan Runic Warriors Book 2) by Jessie Donovan; I persevered with this science fiction romance as it was loaned to me by an online acquaintance. Unfortunately, it too did not speak to me.
— a young adult book which I enjoyed: Future Shock by Elizabeth Briggs
— Temporary by Sarina Bowen and Sarah Mayberry which I enjoyed.
oh I have been curious about Matchmaker’s Playbook since I heard that is the next movie they are putting on Passionflix. So curious about it, but I have issues sometimes with conceited heroes and heroines.
I do want to read Judgment Road, but I do like the darker gritty reads in MC romance, so I don’t think I will have a problem with that. Sorry you have though.
Hope you ladies have a wonderful weekend.
